co-hosted by the

and others
In January, tensions between the U.S. and Iran hit a fever pitch. The Trump administration assassinated an Iranian general, leading to retaliatory strikes on a U.S. military base. In response, many Americans took to the streets, condemning U.S. aggression and calling for "No War with Iran!"
While we seem to have avoided a war for now, the strikes led many Americans to wonder- how does the U.S. keep taking military actions without Congressional approval, and how do we stop these endless wars?
As we continue to call for #NoWarWithIran, join us as we delve into what happened between the U.S. and Iran in January, why congressional War Powers are important, and what you can do to help us end these endless wars!
